Peel police Const. Mike Klarenbeek is going home today after being shot at the Brampton courthouse one week ago.

“My family and I are very thankful that Mike is able to come home today,” his wife Lynn said in a statement. “He wants everyone to know how thankful and lucky he feels.”

In the release, his wife thanked their police family and staff at Sunnybrook Hospital who cared for Klarenbeek after he was shot in the stomach.

A news release from the police also included a picture of Klarenbeek sporting a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and giving the thumbs up.

The 30-year veteran was on duty at the A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse on March 28 when Charnjit Bassi entered it and pulled out a gun, according to preliminary information released by the Special Investigations Unit which is probing the incident.

Bassi was then shot by another Peel police officer and died of his injuries, the SIU said.

The courthouse was locked down, with lawyers, judges, reporters and the public stuck on all floors for several hours as tactical teams cleared the building.

Peel police are still investigating why Bassi was at the courthouse last Friday. Despite having a lengthy history of run-ins with the police, Bassi has never been convicted nor was he scheduled to be at the courthouse.

Bassi’s friends and family say he had no history of mental illness and was never known to be violent or own a gun. He was cremated yesterday after a Sikh service attended by about 150 people.

Klarenbeek and his wife asked for privacy and have declined to give any interviews.
